There are far too many pictures of programers on the net already.

Looks like powermonger impressed them. Too bad Mega-lo-Mania 1 wasn't as good har har

its spread over a few issues of AP, I know I have 2-3 of the articles, not sure how many it went on for, and as we know Mega lo Maina 2 never was finished :/

Didn't you read the manual? It's not as difficult as it looks.

But I cannot believe anyone has completed it. The map is huge.

I had to give up halfway, there was a level that was practically impossible, with an army immediately marching against your position the moment you start and you with a few men. So there must have been a way but I couldn't solve it. Same thing happened in Dungeon Keeper 2 years later. Bullfrog likes to frustrate players. I WILL finish it one day. I started again.

You can read the articles here. I think there were only 3.

http://amr.abime.net/amr_search.php?...=0&action=Find

There is a note in the news section of AP16 saying that David Korn was moved onto another secret project and Mega-lo-Mania 2 development suspended (and no more diary) for at least 6 months.

didnt they say later, it was SWOS that halted development of MLM2?

annoying, becuase they are 2 of my all time fave games, but could i live without SWOS if i had MLM2?
